GLITNIR- the tenth hall

From Grímnismál 15 of the Poetic Edda, we know that Forseti has His own hall, Glitnir. See., e.g, Grímnismál, available at http://www.snerpa.is/net/kvaedi/grimnir.htm:Glitnir er inn tíundi, hann er gulli studdr ok silfri þakðr it sama; en þar Forseti byggir flestan dag ok svæfer allar sakir. The tenth is Glitnir; | its pillars are gold, And its roof with silver is set; There most of his days | does Forseti dwell, And sets all strife at end. (Bellows translation from Grimnismol: The Ballad of Grimnir, available athttp://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/poe/poe06.htm.)

The Old Norse word sakirimplicates a legal suit and has cognates across several Germanic languages, including Old English and Old Frisian.See, e.g, Rolf H. Bremmer Jr., An Introduction to Old Frisian 127 (2009). Thus, we do see some connection to the law in Old Norse sources. If one is amenable to the idea that Forseti may be the same God as the Frisian Deity Fosite, this association becomes even more pronounced.
